When Angelina Jolie charted her course of action against the breast cancer cards she'd been dealt, she didn't seek direction from an academic medical center.
Instead, she chose Pink Lotus, a "comprehensive and integrative breast center" in Beverly Hills when she decided on prophylactic double mastectomy -- adding a prominent link to the facility's website in her New York Times opinion piece and effectively giving it a glowing review.
But experts contacted by MedPage Today have few qualms with Jolie's choice, arguing that she seems to have received top-notch care based on what she wrote in her editorial.
"Not everyone must be treated in an academic center," Jennifer Litton, MD, of MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, told MedPage Today. "I think it is fantastic that Ms. Jolie ... was, from what I have read in her op-ed, given good advice."
Jolie wrote that her mother died after a 10-year-long battle with breast cancer and tests revealed that she has BRCA-1.
Lynn Holt, MS, director of the genetic counseling program at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, said it's ideal that women have access to services offered by the breast center.
Academic centers, however, are important originators of knowledge and practice-changing advances, Litton noted.
"Our role in a cancer institute such as MD Anderson is to not only give the highest level of care, but it is equally our job to pursue new knowledge that we can disseminate, not only to our patients but throughout our country and world," she told MedPage Today.
Many physicians, however, were less comfortable with the marketing aspect of Jolie's care. Pink Lotus is currently running a large ad on its homepage that promises full details of Jolie's treatment and urges visitors to follow the center on Facebook and Twitter to get the story as soon as it posts.
Daniel Hayes, MD, of the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center, said he generally finds medical marketing "reprehensible," but concedes he is "old school. Doctors didn't advertise when I grew up. And I've gotten over it."
Others are concerned about the deluge of questions they expect from female patients in the coming days and weeks. Litton said she's already getting "bombarded with questions of people feeling they should get the [genetic] test."
"My message is that not every woman needs this particular test, but they should review their family history of cancer with their healthcare provider," she said.
Only about 5% to 10% of breast cancers that are diagnosed are caused by BRCA mutations; the majority are caused by other factors.
Certain characteristics do signal that women are at greater risk of being mutation carriers, such as a younger age at diagnosis, a strong family history, and certain ethnicities such as blacks and Ashkenazi Jewish patients.
Clinicians recommend a trained genetic counselor when patients do get screened for BRCA mutations, followed by a "balanced discussion" after the results, according to Deborah Axelrod, MD, of NYU Medical Center.
BRCA mutation carriers have an 80% to 90% lifetime risk of breast cancer, as well as a 40% to 50% lifetime risk of ovarian cancer.
The main options for the breast cancer risk are surveillance, preventive medical therapy with tamoxifen or other chemotherapeutic agents, or prophylactic double mastectomy -- the most effective form of prevention, experts say, as Jolie chose.
When it comes to ovarian cancer risk, Axelrod said a screening program is less effective, as the disease is not easy to detect.
"Developing ovarian cancer can occur at any age with the BRCA mutation so even older women are recommended to consider removing their ovaries if they are positive for the BRCA mutation," she said.
In her op-ed, which several medical experts described as "eloquent" and "personal," Jolie wrote that she was tackling the breast cancer issue "first," a potential indicator that she may be considering oophorectomy as well.
"The choice that Angelina made was the right one for her," said Gary Lyman, MD, of Duke Cancer Institute, "and will hopefully inspire other women to have these important discussions and feel empowered to make their own right choice."

Tour de France fever hits Leeds city centre
There was a carnival atmosphere as crowds milled around Victoria Gardens on The Headrow in the pre-race buzz.
National and international media interviewed visitors for audiences back home, trying not to get in the way of the hordes clamouring to get photos of the permanent marker on the pavement, while the official Tour boutique was swamped with people, four-deep, desperate for souvenirs.
Hide AdAdvertisement
Hide AdAt the town hall, a sea of yellow 'carpets' drew scores into the Yorkshire Bicycle Show, while others sat in deck chairs on the steps outside, listening to The Puncture Kit, aka David Osborne, The Bicycle Drummer, who drums on his upturned bike.
Leader of Leeds City Council Council Coun Keith Wakefield said: "What an amazing experience that was. The atmosphere of the crowd, the excitement, the colour, the noise, it was all absolutely incredible and is something I will never forget.
"Hosting the Tour de France has been the biggest event in living memory in Leeds, so thank you to everyone in the city for making this such a historic and successful occasion.
"The Tour organisers, teams and riders have been absolutely blown away by the welcome they have received here so everyone involved and all those who cheered and clapped at the roadside on Thursday night and this morning should feel very proud. We wish all the riders well now as they head out to explore the beautiful Yorkshire Dales."

The use of brainwaves as control parameters for electronic systems is becoming quite widespread. The types of signals that we have access to are still quite primitive compared to what we might aspire to in our cyberpunk fantasies, but they're a step in the right direction.
A very tempting aspect of accessing brain signals is that it can be used to circumvent physical limitations. [Jerkey] demonstrates this with his DIY brain-controlled electric wheelchair that can move people who wouldn't otherwise have the capacity to operate joystick controls. The approach is direct, using a laptop to marshall EEG data which is passed to an arduino that simulates joystick operations for the control board of the wheelchair. From experience we know that it can be difficult to control EEGs off-the-bat, and [Jerky]'s warnings at the beginning of the instructable about having a spotter with their finger on the "off" switch should well be followed. Maybe some automated collision avoidance would be useful to include.
We've covered voice-operated wheelchairs before, and we'd like to know how the two types of control would stack up against one another. EEGs are more immediate than speech, but we imagine that they're harder to control.
It would be interesting albeit somewhat trivial to see an extension of [Jerkey]'s technique as a way to control an ROV like Oberon, although depending on the faculties of the operator the speech control could be difficult (would that make it more convincing as an alien robot diplomat?).

Sixth Juror Chosen In Perez Trial
By JOSH KOVNER
April 15, 2010
With the six regular jurors now seated, the prosecution and defense in Mayor Eddie A. Perez's bribery and larceny trial need only select three alternate jurors to have a full panel.
The felony corruption trial is scheduled to start next month. The fifth and sixth jurors were chosen Wednesday: a doctor who lives in Simsbury and works in the intensive care units at Hartford Hospital, and a Glastonbury woman who is retired from Travelers.
Defense lawyer Hope Seeley asked the woman if she had read or heard about the corruption case against the mayor, and whether she had formed any opinion.
"I guess the opinion I have is, 'Wow, there's a lot going on here' ... a range of charges. It seems like a complex situation," she responded.
Perez, 53, and a three-term mayor, is charged with receiving a bribe, fabricating physical evidence and conspiracy to fabricate physical evidence. He is accused of accepting free or deeply discounted work on his home from a developer family friend Carlos Costa who has received millions of dollars in city contracts.
The arrest warrant alleges that Perez paid about $20,000 for an estimated $40,000 worth of home-improvement work from Costa, writing a check to Costa nearly two years after the work was done. The payment immediately followed his first interview with investigators, in which Perez said he had already paid Costa, the warrant asserts.
Perez also is charged with criminal attempt to commit first-degree larceny by extortion and coercion for allegedly allowing political power broker Abraham Giles to maintain lucrative parking-lot deals without valid city contracts. In return, the warrant charges, Giles, a former Perez adversary, threw his political weight behind the mayor.
Superior Court Judge Julia Dewey ruled Wednesday that a juror selected earlier in the week a Hispanic man who is a part-time bail bondsman could not be dismissed from the jury solely because his job brings him in close proximity to criminal defendants.
Dewey said the state did not establish that the man would be a biased juror. Prosecutors Michael Gailor and Chris Alexy said they felt they had shown there was a potential for the man to be sympathetic to criminal defendants. They said their decision to excuse him had nothing to do with his race.
Defense lawyers Seeley and Hubert Santos had raised a "Batson challenge" to the man's dismissal, arguing that race was the sole factor.
"Your honor, we are now picking [the rest of] the jury based on the fact that we have a Hispanic juror," Santos told the judge.
Dewey indicated that this was a gray area of Connecticut law but said a juror's job whether it be bondsman, correction officer, or police officer did not automatically trump a person's constitutional right to serve on juries.
She said the Hispanic man did not indicate a bias in his answers to questions from the judge about his views on the criminal justice system.
"Their job alone doesn't exclude them," said Dewey. "I have to hear the 'why.' I might be wrong it certainly would be a matter for appeal. But I don't think I'm wrong."

I often write about the things I believe we all should be doing, trying or experimenting with in order to maximize our success and happiness. However, it's not always the things we do that make the biggest difference in our lives; it's often the things we avoid doing that have the biggest effect. As human beings, we have a strong aversion to not doing; we feel that in order to produce results, there must be an initial action.
However, because we are almost always doing something, piling on more and more often has a negative effect, rather than a positive one. Among the mentally strong, there are several actions that are avoided in order to produce the greatest benefit in the shortest period of time.
These actions are those that the mentally strong avoid, and that we should consider adapting as our own:
1. Dwelling On The Past
Mentally strong individuals focus on the present moment and on the near future. They understand that the past is out of our control and the far future is about as predictable as the weather this winter.
2. Remaining In Their Comfort Zone
The comfort zone is a dangerous place, a dark abyss where anyone who remains there for too long loses his or herself entirely. Staying within your comfort zone is giving up on life.
3. Not Listening To The Opinions Of Others
Only the foolish believe themselves to be sufficient in all regards. When it comes to brainstorming, ideas can't so much be forced as they can be caught. A good idea is a good idea, regardless of whether or not you came up with it. Don't let your ego get the better of you; if someone has great advice to give, take it.
4. Avoiding Change
What the mentally strong understand that the mentally weak do not is that change is unavoidable. Trying to avoid the inevitable is pointless. Therefore, trying to avoid change is pointless; it's a mere waste of time and energy.
5. Keeping A Closed Mind
You don't know everything. Even the things you believe yourself to know are likely to not be entirely true. If you keep a closed mind, you are preventing yourself from learning new material. If you stop learning, you stop living.
6. Letting Others Make Decisions For Them
Only you should be making your own decisions; you can't allow others to make them for you. All this does is shift the responsibility from you to someone else, but the only person failing in the end is you. If you don't have the courage to fail, then you don't have the courage to succeed.
7. Getting Jealous Over The Successes Of Others
When others succeed, you should be happy. If they can do it, so can you. The success of others does not, in any way, lessen the chances of you succeeding. If anything, it should motivate you to keep pushing forward.
8. Thinking About The High Possibility Of Failure
Our thoughts control our perspective; our perspective controls our results. The mentally strong understand this and use this to their advantage. There's always the chance you may fail, but as long as there is the chance you may succeed, it's worth trying.
9. Feeling Sorry For Themselves
Sh*t happens. Life can be hard. People get hurt; others die. Life isn't all roses and butterflies. You will fall off that horse again and again and again. The question is, are you strong enough to keep getting back on it?
10. Focusing On Their Weaknesses
Although working on our weaknesses does have its benefits, it's more important to focus on banking on our strengths. The most well-rounded person is not the person that gets the furthest in life. Being average in all regards makes you average. However, mastering a certain skillset or trait will allow you to beat the competition with less effort.
11. Trying To Please People
A job well done is a job well done, no matter who is judging the final product. You can't please everybody, but you can always manage to do your very best.
12. Blaming Themselves For Things Outside Their Control
The mentally strong know the things they can control, understand the things they cannot control, and avoid even thinking about that which is completely out of their hands.
13. Being Impatient
Patience isn't just a virtue; it is the virtue. Most people don't fail because they aren't good enough, or aren't capable of winning or succeeding. Most people fail because they are impatient and give up before their time has come.
14. Being Misunderstood
Communication is key in any properly functioning system. When it comes to people, things get a bit more complicated. Simply stating information is never enough; if the receiving party misunderstands you, your message is not being properly relayed. The mentally strong do their best to be understood and have the patience to clear up misunderstandings.
15. Feeling Like You're Owed
You aren't owed anything in life. You were born; the rest is up to you. Life doesn't owe you anything. Others don't owe you anything. If you want something in life, you only owe it to yourself to go out and get it. In life, there are no handouts.
16. Repeating Mistakes
Make a mistake once, okay. Make a mistake twice… not so okay. Make the same mistake a third time, you may need to consider giving up alcohol and drugs. You're either stupid or permanently high.
17. Giving Into Their Fears
The world can be a scary place. Some things frighten us with good cause, but most of our fears are illogical. If you know that you want to try something, try it. If you're scared, then understand that being scared of failing must mean that succeeding means a whole lot to you.
18. Acting Without Calculating
The mentally strong know better than to act before completely understanding the situation at hand. If you have time to ponder over something and cover all your bases, then do so. Not doing so is pure laziness.
19. Refusing Help From Others
You're not Superman; you can't do it all. Even if you can, why should you? If others are offering to help, let them help. Be social. Listen to their ideas and watch how they do things. You may learn something. If not, then you can teach them something and do what humans are meant to do: socialize.
20. Throwing In The Towel
The biggest weakness in all of humanity is giving up — calling it quits, throwing in the towel. The mentally strong go about things in such a way. Only do things if they are important to you; forget the things that aren't important to you. If they're important to you, then pursue them until you succeed. No exceptions, ever.

ELMSLEY, JOHN, naval officer, entrepreneur, office-holder, and philanthropist; b. 19 May 1801 at York (Toronto), Upper Canada, son of John Elmsley* and Mary Hallowell; m. Charlotte Sherwood and they had seven sons and three daughters; d. 8 May 1863 at Toronto.
When John Elmsley was born his father was chief justice of Upper Canada and the next year took on the same post in Lower Canada. John Elmsley Sr died in 1805 and Mary Elmsley returned to England with young John, his brother, and two sisters. Probably on the advice of a maternal uncle, Admiral Benjamin Hallowell, John entered the Royal Navy in 1815 as 1st class volunteer on Tonnant, and for the next nine years served on the Irish, North American (from 1818 to 1821), and Nore stations. In 1824 he was promoted lieutenant, but he had become disheartened with a profession which had "for its sole object the destruction of the Human Species" and retired on half pay.
Elmsley went to live with his mother at Waddon in Surrey, England, and intended supplementing the education he had received by teaching himself science and mathematics in order to qualify for a post on a naval surveying vessel. Instead, it was decided that John would return to Canada and manage the extensive land holdings acquired by his father. He arrived at York in 1825 and, with the assurance that came from a background which opened the doors of "all the Elite of the Upper Canadian Metropolis," became a gentleman farmer on his large property at York and a manager of an estate. An eligible, well placed, and reputedly wealthy bachelor, he participated fully in the social life of the capital despite a privately expressed complaint of the "emptiness and frivolity [of what] is termed High Life and fashionable Society." In September 1830 he became a member of the Executive Council and in January 1831 of the Legislative Council. He was first elected a director of the Bank of Upper Canada in 1828 (he was re-elected in 1829, 1830, 1832, and 1834) and in 1831 was one of the largest shareholders with some 330 shares. He was a founder of the Home District Agricultural Society in 1830 and was to hold the posts of president and secretary. He was one of the incorporators of the British American Assurance Company in 1833 and a major shareholder in the Welland Canal Company, and in 1836 was one of the promoters of the City of Toronto and Lake Huron Rail Road Company; he subscribed £100 to the railway and was elected a director in 1837.
On 12 Sept. 1831 Elmsley married Charlotte, daughter of Levius Peters Sherwood*, a judge on the Upper Canadian Court of King's Bench. Because she was a Roman Catholic, a marriage service was held first at St Paul's Catholic Church before the Reverend William Peter MacDonald* and another at the Anglican St James' Church before John Strachan. A long trip to Europe followed. On the Elmsleys' return to York in 1832 John's attendance at St James appeared less regular, then ceased altogether. In August 1833 he announced to the Roman Catholic bishop, Alexander Macdonell*, his intention, "with the most hearty joy and satisfaction," to join the Catholic Church. He wished to maintain secrecy, however, because his mother "would be most terribly shocked to learn that I had embraced a Religion against which she has ever entertained the most violent prejudices." Less than six months later Elmsley printed and distributed 5,000 copies of a translation of a work defending the doctrine of transubstantiation written by the Catholic bishop of Strasbourg, which he had first seen in Europe. "I feel quite unable to gainsay it," Elmsley reported to Strachan in forwarding a copy to him, and "unless the subject of the Bishop's argument can be overthrown, I must, of necessity, no longer abstain from receiving Communion in that Church, where alone the real presence of our Blessed Lord . . . in the Sacrament of the Eucharist, is acknowledged." Strachan quickly replied, in an open letter to his congregation, to what he saw as an attempt by Elmsley, "even before his final conversion, to labour for the conversion of others." A vigorous debate and more pamphlets followed, including Strachan's The poor man's preservative against popery (1834) and a refutation of Strachan's arguments by W. P. MacDonald.
The fortunes of the Catholic Church were at a low ebb at York when Elmsley joined it. A long dispute between Bishop Macdonell and an earlier incumbent at York, William J. O'Grady*, was still simmering despite Macdonell's suspension of O'Grady in 1832. The conversion of so eminent a public figure as Elmsley at such a trying time appeared to Macdonell as providential and Elmsley was soon one of the bishop's principal advisers in the diocese. He also played a leading lay role in Toronto as a church warden at St Paul's, the city's only Catholic church. It was not long, however, before Elmsley found himself among detractors and in conflict with the incumbent, Patrick McDonagh. To overcome the apathy he found among members of the congregation towards their duties, Elmsley suggested to Macdonell in 1835 that the parish be deprived of priests for several months. A recommendation that 2d. be collected at the church door from all worshippers on Sundays was accepted, and led to a dispute with McDonagh who refused to cooperate in levying what he considered an unjust "impost." After the advice of Elmsley and other church wardens that McDonagh be removed was not taken, Elmsley resigned his post in 1836.
Elmsley's fortune was based on land and, as many others in Upper Canada did, he speculated heavily in uel location rights after an 1830 order-in-council facilitated their transfer. His activities came to the notice of Sir John Colborne, who in 1833 recommended to the Executive Council a measure to curb the traffic. To Elmsley the proposed measure was in its "retrospective operation a Breach of good faith." He protested so strongly in council that Colborne demanded an apology. Elmsley soon resigned as executive councillor, explaining to the Toronto Patriot that he could not "fearlessly express my real sentiments and opinions if opposed to the government for the time being without incurring the risk of dismissal." Reformers were jubilant at this breach within the Family Compact and there was some speculation that Elmsley would join Reform ranks. In 1836 Sir Francis Bond Head* saw Elmsley as a man "inclined to liberality" when he reappointed him to the Executive Council. Later, in his Narrative, Head described Elmsley as "perhaps the most ultra-reformer in the Legislative Council." In 1835 Elmsley had established the private, joint-stock Farmers' Bank with George Truscott and served as its first president. The bank and the Home District Mutual Fire Company, of which he was to be a director in 1844, were both projects associated with Reformers.
Despite his earlier private misgivings about a military career Elmsley offered his services at the outbreak of the rebellion in 1837. He commanded one of the boats under the charge of Captain Andrew Drew* when the Caroline was cut loose on the Niagara River, and he later claimed to have fired the shot that killed Amos Durfee, the only known casualty in the episode. Elmsley also served on the St Lawrence River and in June and July 1838 was in command of the steamer Thames on the western Upper Canadian frontier. A provincial marine was established in summer 1838; he was put in charge at Toronto and given command of the Chief Justice Robinson. On board this vessel, on 28 Nov. 1838, Elmsley received an urgent request from Lieutenant Governor Sir George Arthur* to proceed with some 50 or 60 men to Lake Erie to assist Drew. Elmsley had agitated unsuccessfully about his rank in the provincial marine – he wanted the equivalent to his lieutenant-colonelcy in the militia and felt entitled to a rank above Drew's – and now, faced with serving under Drew in an inferior rank and concerned that the status of his men was also in jeopardy, Elmsley reopened the question with Arthur on 29 November. Again rebuffed, Elmsley resigned his commission and agreed to order his next in command to proceed to Lake Erie. The force still did not leave, and it was soon revealed that Elmsley in an address to his men had informed them they were no longer bound by their oaths of service as the grades promised when they enlisted were not in effect. To some his words were treasonable. Arthur deemed his actions "prejudicial to the interests of the province and to the good of the Queen's Service," and found it impossible to meet Elmsley in the Executive Council. Elmsley rejected an investigation by the council and demanded instead a general court martial, which was refused. He was suspended from the council on 28 Jan. 1839 and later dismissed. That Elmsley, who had earlier in 1838 been described as "a wrong headed man but brave as a lion and devotedly attached to all that is British," was loyal Arthur did not doubt, but his actions were ill advised.
Elmsley continued to sit in the Legislative Council until the union of Upper and Lower Canada in 1841. By then he was devoting himself largely to the management of his lands, steamship enterprises, and increasingly, church and philanthropic activities. In 1841 he became captain of the steamer Cobourg which plied the Kingston–Toronto route with stops at Cobourg and Port Hope. The next year he purchased with Donald Bethune the 475-ton Niagara from John Hamilton* and became its captain on the Toronto – Kingston route in the Royal Mail line. He changed the ship's name to Sovereign in 1843 and continued as captain and part-owner until summer 1844 when he sold his interest, having lost, he claimed later, £1,200. He also participated in boating events in Toronto and was joint president with Hugh Richardson of the Toronto Regatta held in September 1842. He joined the Toronto Boat Club (later the Royal Canadian Yacht Club) in 1853.
Though land still occupied much of Elmsley's attention after 1841 he appears to have been disposing of property he had accumulated. He had sold some of his large estate in Toronto and after the rebellion moved to the northern edge of it at Clover Hill. He retained close contacts with the clergy in Toronto and from about 1852 acted as the bishop's secretary. When the construction of St Michael's Cathedral began in 1845 he organized work "bees," arranged much of the financing, and in 1848 when work was completed he and fellow convert S. G. Lynn guaranteed its mortgages so that it could be consecrated. In 1851 Elmsley took the 234-ton James Coleman on a run as far as Halifax, perhaps in order to raise funds for the cathedral.
Elmsley was liberal in the donations and in the time he volunteered to the Catholic Church and Catholic education, evidence of a deep commitment to his adopted faith. He helped build the first Catholic school in Toronto in 1841. He conducted catechism classes in city schools, donated prizes, and led children to Mass on Sundays. First elected a school trustee in 1841, he was a strong promoter of the establishment of separate schools in the city, founded an early commercial school in Toronto, and acted as agent in Toronto for separate schools throughout Canada West. He assisted the establishment in Toronto of the Sisters of St Joseph in 1851 (donating two acres of his Clover Hill estate for their convent) and of the Christian Brothers in 1851. He attempted to persuade Jesuits to open a college in Toronto in 1850 by holding out the promise of a site. When classes at St Michael's College outgrew the bishop's palace Elmsley donated four lots to the Basilian fathers for the college on condition that they build a parish church. He was a founder of the Widows and Orphans Asylum (which became the House of Providence) and an incorporator of the Toronto Athenaeum in 1848 and the House of Industry in 1851. After St Basil's Church was built near his home in 1856 he attended it daily and organized in 1857 its chapter of the St Vincent de Paul Society. He was the chapter's first president and retained the post until April 1863 when his health began to fail. He died in May, having made provision for his body to be buried in St Michael's Cathedral and his heart to be deposited in the west wall of St Basil's Church.
The most important pamphlets published on the occasion of John Elmsley's conversion were: [J.-F.-M. Le Pappe de] Trevern, Extract from a celebrated work entitled an amicable discussion on the Church of England and on the Reformation in general . . . , trans. William Richmond (York [Toronto], 1833); W. P. MacDonald, Remarks on Doctor Strachan's pamphlet against the Catholic doctrine of the real presence of Christ's body and blood in the Eucharist . . .

Many in the legal and eDiscovery field cite the very illuminating research from the Duke Law Journal published in the spring 2011, which, based upon their search of the case law, identified nearly 300 federal court decisions through the end of 2009 that awarded e-discovery sanctions. This survey and others like it reinforce the sentiment that eDiscovery is crucial to nearly all litigation and internal investigation matters.
The work of the Duke Law Journal inspired us to search an online legal database of state and federal court decisions across the United States to identify the number of cases where evidence from social networking sites played a significant role. The numbers were quite an eye opener and exceeded even our high expectations. From January 1, 2010 through November 1, 2011, 674 state and federal court cases with written decisions available online have involved social media evidence in some capacity.
The search was limited to the top four social networking sites and the tally came out as follows: Myspace (326 cases), Facebook (262), Twitter (49) LinkedIn (37). The numbers excluded results where the social networking site was either named as a party to the case or where such cases were cited as precedent.
Some quick analysis behind the numbers:
- Sampling review indicates that a significant percentage if not the majority of the Myspace cases generally involved criminal matters.
- While fewer in number, the Twitter and LinkedIn cases tended to involve higher stakes litigation such as corporate trade secret theft, trade libel, copyright, class action employment matters, and trademark infringement. (See e.g. AGENCE FRANCE PRESSE v. MOREL and Getty Images, In re Application of Chevron Corporation, Blayde v. Harrah's Entertainment, Inc.)
- Sampling review also suggests that simple printouts and screen captures or direct testimony of representatives from social media providers in criminal cases were the means used to obtain this evidence.
- In several dozen cases the court addressed, and in several instances sustained, objections to the evidentiary authentication of social media evidence. This reaffirms that the authentication of social media evidence without best practices technology is a major concern.
This survey of course does not reflect the presumably exponentially more cases involving social media evidence but without a written opinion available online that reflects that involvement. Even so, these numbers are an important data point establishing the ubiquitous nature of social media evidence.

Olympic time-trial champion Hamilton failed blood transfusion test, his team says
Associated Press
September 21, 2004
MADRID, Spain - Olympic time-trial cycling champion Tyler Hamilton of the United States has apparently failed tests designed to detect performance-enhancing blood transfusions, his Phonak team said Tuesday.
One test was carried out at the Athens Olympics on Aug. 19 and another at the Vuelta cycling tour on Sept 18. Both of these so-called 'A' tests showed "presence of a mixed red blood cell population, indication of a homologous blood transfusion," Phonak spokesman Georges Luedinger said. In this case homologous means blood from another person.
Luedinger quoted a statement that cycling's governing body UCI sent to Phonak.
A 'B' test designed to confirm the preliminary results was planned for Tuesday, Luedinger said, adding that Hamilton denies undergoing a transfusion - a way of boosting an athlete's performance by increasing his or her red blood cell count.
"Tyler told us he did nothing," Luedinger said.
Asked about Hamilton's reported positive test at the Olympics, IOC medical director Patrick Schamasch said, "For the moment, I can't confirm or deny anything."
IOC spokeswoman Giselle Davies said, "As with all doping procedures, while a process is underway, we can't go into details."
If found guilty of a doping violation at the Olympics, Hamilton would be stripped of his gold medal. Three athletes had gold medals revoked for doping during the Aug. 13-29 games.
Hamilton pulled out of the Spanish Vuelta after the 12th stage on Sept. 16 - five days after winning the time trial - citing stomach problems.
Luedinger said Phonak planned to hold a press conference in Zurich later Tuesday.
Hamilton rode with Lance Armstrong's U.S. Postal Service team for six years, leaving in 2001 to become the leader of Team CSC, a Danish club that won the team competition at last year's Tour de France. He was fourth in the 2003 Tour de France, winning his first-ever stage along the way.
Hamilton joined the Swiss-based Phonak team last year. He pulled out of this year's Tour de France after two weeks because of a back injury.
There was no official comment to the test controversy on Hamilton's Web site.
NOTE: B test results are to be conducted "Tuesday" (which Tuesday was not disclosed) and have not yet been announced.

Hi Chris, Long shot, have you tried Andy Saunders? he wrote a book on 43 Squadron. He just might have some details...worth a try. You can find him on Flypast forum, he uses the name Tangmere. Best Wishes. Robert.
Hi Chris, Do you think those two could be the ones you were looking for around Chevington? I notice they are missing from Waltons book, neither are they on the CWGC roll. From Eshott some are and some aren't. A couple of people I know have no knowledge of these either.......they came from Eshott area which makes it look as if they could have come down further away from Eshott than is thought. Just an idea. Best Wishes. Robert.

At that point, it was decided that high-quality, less-restrictive, community-based services would be provided to these children if the funds were managed at the local level.
The Family Assessment and Planning Team (FAPT) is comprised of the supervisory-level staff from the same agencies as the CPMT as well as the parent and private providers. These teams work with the families to develop the Individual Family Services Plan (IFSP). If the services needed are beyond what is available in the participating agencies and there are no other family or community resources available, the team may choose to purchase them with local CSA pool funds.
In the City of Roanoke, "non-mandated" funds are available to some children and families served by the Community Services Board (Blue Ridge Behavioral Healthcare), Court Services Unit, Roanoke City Public Schools and the local Department of Social Services. These funds are limited, and the City of Roanoke is not required to appropriate funds to serve this population.

Why have an unplugged wedding?
In today's world, so many people are invested in their phones. Updating facebook status', posting pictures to Instagram or tweeting what they are having for dinner; the internet has taken over! However, you can avoid your guest's attention being misdirected during your wedding ceremony and wedding reception, if you choose to have an unplugged wedding.
Having confidence that your wedding guests are entirely focused on you on your special day is certainly ideal! After all, this is a day to celebrate your love, not cellphones.
There are so many reasons why you should consider an unplugged wedding! That's why we have gathered the top three. To learn what these reasons are, be sure to continue reading:
- Keeps the Focus on You. Your wedding is your big day! Therefore, all eyes should be on you. If you choose to have an unplugged wedding, you can guarantee that instead of your guest's attention is on their phones, that it will be on your walk down the aisle, your loving vows, and that romantic first kiss.
- Maintains Privacy. With an unplugged wedding, you can guarantee that each special moment will stay private. If your guests don't have the opportunity to take photos on their phones, they won't be shared among social media sites or with others. After all, you should have a say as to which photos of your big day you would like shared with others or posted online.
- No Intrusions. Your professional photographer will be there to capture each moment of your big day! However, if your guests are right in the aisle with the phones out, it certainly won't make for very enjoyable photos. Instead of your guests being showcased throughout your photos, holding their phones, you can instead be presented with professional pictures of everyone enjoying themselves.

We asked some of the top love experts to give the final word on the most-asked relationship and dating questions. In this episode of "The Final Word," we asked Ian Kerner, Evan Marc Katz, Debra Burrell and Andrea Syrtash why people are unfaithful. Surprisingly, it often has nothing to do with sex. Among the reasons why people cheat? Emotional connection, excitement and—as counterintuitive as it may seem—an attempt to preserve a floundering relationship. Why Do Newlyweds Cheat?
Do you disagree with these love experts? Comment below. Do you have another type of relationship conundrum that needs to be solved? Head on over to Ask YourTango. Are you looking to hire a dating coach? Check out ProConnect to find a professional who can help you.

Then next time you say you're sick of your job, you may be getting uncomfortably close to a fact of office life: Most employees come to work when they're sick. Compounding the problem, almost half of workers take no precautions to avoid direct contact with others in the form of shaking hands, fist bumps, etc., or warn their co-workers of their illness.
More than four out of five (84 percent) of employed adults admit to having gone to work while sick, according to a survey of nearly 3,000 U.S. adults 18 and over sponsored by Cintas Corporation, which provides first-aid and safety solution to businesses. The practice is called "presenteeism," health experts say.
But they're not totally oblivious to the welfare of others. Although not all employed adults avoid direct contact and warn others when there are sick — two common-sense public health practices — they do make an effort to protect others, the survey found. When asked which precautions they take to alleviate their own symptoms and avoid infecting others in the workplace, a majority said they regularly wash their hands/use hand sanitizer (77 percent) or sneeze/cough into their sleeves (67 percent).
Other common preventative measures taken by workers reporting sick to duty include bringing their own medication to work (54 percent) and regularly wiping down their workspace (34 percent).
"Workplaces can quickly become breeding grounds for bacteria when workers engage inpresenteeism, or attending work while sick," said John Amann, vice president of first aid and safety with Cintas. "Since presenteeism reduces business productivity, it's important for people to take the proper steps to protect themselves and others, like avoiding contact and warning co-workers of their illness."

NY Times: Cantor Changing 'Uncompromising Conservatism to Something Kinder and Gentler'
New York Times reporter Jonathan Weisman documented the failure of House Majority Leader Eric Cantor to remake the GOP's "uncompromising conservatism to something kinder and gentler" in "House Majority Leader's Quest to Soften G.O.P.'s Image Hits a Wall Within," in a slanted story that's being passed off as straight news. Weisman emotionally warned: "But these days, those who linger in the middle of the road end up flattened."
"A kinder, gentler nation" is of course the phrase George H.W. Bush used in his speech accepting the Republican nomination for president in 1988, apparently to distance himself from the more conservative Ronald Reagan.
Representative Eric Cantor of Virginia, the House majority leader, has been trying for months to remake the image of the Republican Party, from one of uncompromising conservatism to something kinder and gentler.
It isn't working so well.
On Wednesday, Republican leaders abruptly shelved one of the centerpieces of Mr. Cantor's "Making Life Work" agenda -- a bill to extend insurance coverage to people with pre-existing medical conditions -- in the face of a conservative revolt. Last month, legislation to streamline worker retraining programs barely squeaked through. In May, Republican leaders will try again with legislation, pitched as family-friendly, to allow employers to offer comp time or "flex time" instead of overtime. But it has little prospect for Senate passage.
(Two weeks ago, Weisman saw "egg on the face" of conservatives in the face of early gains for gun control in Congress. How did that work out?)
So it has gone. Items that Mr. Cantor had hoped would change the Republican Party's look, if not its priorities, have been ignored, have been greeted with yawns or have only worsened Republican divisions.
"We need to look at these issues through a more human lens and realize government has a role here, especially on some of these pocketbook issues," said Representative Shelley Moore Capito, Republican of West Virginia, who expressed frustration with the lock-step opposition of the House's fiercest conservatives. "Have we been successful? No. We're still trying to find our way."
The debacle on Wednesday was the worst moment yet. The Helping Sick Americans Now Act sounded like solid middle ground -- a measure to actually expand the part of President Obama's health care law that created a federal "high-risk pool" in which people with pre-existing conditions could band together to buy subsidized insurance coverage. The provision was to be paid for by siphoning money from another part of Mr. Obama's health care law, the Prevention and Public Health Fund.
But these days, those who linger in the middle of the road end up flattened. The White House issued a stern veto threat to keep the money in the fund, which chased away Democratic votes from the Helping Sick Americans Now Act. The Club for Growth, a conservative political action committee, warned that Republicans who voted in favor of the act would have their scorecards marked down for supporting part of the health care law. L. Brent Bozell III, a conservative activist, labeled the bill "Cantorcare" -- and not as a compliment.
Weisman approvingly cited a Cantor speech in which he downplayed the importance of fiscal discipline, a cornerstone of conservatism.
When Mr. Cantor delivered a "Making Life Work" speech at the American Enterprise Institute in February, his message to his party was urgent and well received. The party, he said, needs to get beyond its single-minded, green-eyeshaded message of fiscal austerity and look to the problems of ordinary struggling Americans. Education, work-force training, health care and medical research have to augment the central issue of fiscal discipline and balanced budgets, he said.
Still more claims of Republican "austerity" were made byWeisman – a strange word choice in an era of $3.8 trillion federal budgets.
....Others said a large core of the House Republican conference had simply proved unwilling to move beyond the austerity message.
The Republicans' embrace of such austerity was evident as the House Ways and Means Committee was drafting a bill on Wednesday to ensure that the federal government's creditors would be the first paid with incoming tax revenues, should Congress refuse this summer to raise the government's borrowing limit.

Kallas: Prosecution Makes A Strong Case Against Clemens
By Steve Kallas
» More Columns
On Tuesday, May 29, the prosecution in the perjury trial of Roger Clemens rested after presenting its case-in-chief. Despite great efforts by the Clemens defense team, it says here that the government scored plenty of points with the jury; enough to get Roger Clemens convicted of one or more counts and enough, given Judge Reggie Walton's statements at the abbreviated first trial, to send Roger Clemens to jail.
Of course, there still may be some room for some bombshells as the defense started presenting its case on Tuesday afternoon. However, it is unlikely that Roger Clemens will take the stand and, often times, despite the fact that the defendant has every right not to take the stand, that is held against the defendant by jurors (consciously or not).
If Clemens does take the stand, it will be a gigantic news story, both in the legal world and the sports world.
Well, by all means not complete, some of the highlights included (all in-court references come from tweets from either Jim Baumbach of Newsday or the Daily News I-Team):
1) THE TESTIMONY OF BRIAN McNAMEE. Despite talk from the defense about the withering cross-examination that was to come of McNamee, the trainer of Clemens who graphically testified about injecting Clemens numerous times with HGH and steroids, McNamee held up very well and, essentially, made for a very good witness. In the crazy world of the steroids era, it turns out that the people who most told the truth (with possibly a lie here or a lie there) were people like Jose Canseco, Kirk Radomski and Brian McNamee. Go figure.
2) THE DNA EVIDENCE. It was hard to believe that syringes and needles and cotton balls, stuck in a beer can in a garage or basement for a number of years, could lead to a conviction of anyone on perjury charges, etc. But the government did a good job with expert testimony tying Roger Clemens to the stuff that McNamee had saved. When Rusty Hardin tried hard to show that McNamee simply made this stuff up after the fact, the prosecution was allowed to bring in two convincing witnesses (including former major leaguer David Segui), who testified that McNamee had told them about keeping the evidence many years before the whole Congressional investigation/Clemens testimony. This final prosecution evidence totally countered one false theory of the defense (that McNamee made it up after the fact).
3) THE TESTIMONY OF KIRK RADOMSKI. Radomski (who has written his own scary, frank book on his involvement of selling steroids to professional athletes) testified about sending HGH to Clemens house and providing steroids that were allegedly used by Clemens. Although the defense scored some points on cross, the connect-the-dots approach of the prosecution may have very well positively influenced the jury from a prosecution perspective.
4) THE JOSE CANSECO PARTY. On a specific charge against Clemens (who said he was not at a party at Canseco's house in June of 1998), the government produced witnesses and even pictures that clearly showed that Clemens was at the party (where an alleged discussion on steroids and steroid use took place among Clemens, Canseco and a third man). While not a seemingly "big" lie, these pictures, and the accompanying testimony of other witnesses (in addition to McNamee) could very well lead to a felony conviction.
5) THE TESTIMONY OF RESPECTED TRAINER GENE MONAHAN. A large part of the Clemens defense is that Clemens received numerous B12 shots as opposed to anything illegal. Included in that is that Clemens testified before Congress that he was injected with B12 in open areas and that there were multiple needles "already lined up and ready to go" in the trainer's room for the New York Yankees. Monahan totally contradicted that testimony, saying he never saw anything like that. Other trainers for other teams said the same thing. Thus, even if the government fails on the bigger issues, they have Clemens pretty good on things like B12 shots and the afore-mentioned Canseco party.
While not exhaustive, the above gives you a flavor for what the prosecution has given the jury – a road map on a number of different issues, which can lead to one or more felony convictions on one or more counts. One final note: while briefly killed by the media for what was viewed to be wishy-washy testimony against his once-best friend, Andy Pettitte actually testified pretty much as he did in that long 2008 deposition before Congressional aides (see Kallas Remarks, 7/5/11). Pettitte knows, if nothing else, that if Clemens is convicted of anything, it won't be because of his (Pettitte's) testimony.
Not necessarily, but, to this writer, the defense is trying to crawl out of a big hole. Having said that, you never know what a jury is going to do. Will one or more of the jurors be mesmerized by Rusty Hardin and the rest of the defense? Will one or more of the jurors be mesmerized by Roger Clemens, a Hall of Fame pitcher long before he took anything that Brian McNamee might have injected him with? Will one or more of the jurors agree with many that this was an enormous waste of the government's time and the taxpayers' money and, thus, vote not guilty?
Hey, you never know.
But we will all find out in the next two weeks or so.

I had the dubious distinction of starting my career in the hedge fund industry in 1987 (when there were only a handful of funds) -- working for both Michael Steinhardt and Soros Fund Management -– and then I started an ultimately seriously-funded venture-backed internet company in 1994 (which was sold honorably, but by no means lavishly to AOL in '03) – and I'm still not rich! What a schmuck!
Fortunately, I must have done a few things right along the way and my entrepreneurial zeal and optimism remains strong – and I still love building companies from scratch. Most significantly, I have two business partners who I trust like brothers – and who compliment my skills and temperament almost perfectly. I've also learned to surround myself with fantastic engineers, artists, and staff members.
I've also suffered through the slings and arrows of outrageous investors – and one of the most important things that I've learned as an entrepreneur – is to surround myself with investors who can provide encouragement, guidance, discipline, and wisdom -- together with capital, connections, and domain expertise.
My partners and I are honored that First Round Capital has invested in all three of the companies that we've helped to found (VideoEgg, mSnap and "NeoSurf"). For full disclosure – Howard Morgan (one of First Round's founding partners, was our lead investor in our last company and a close mentor). Today, First Round held their first CEO Summit for their portfolio companies – and I think that everyone who attended left feeling as positive as I did about the day. As startup CEOs – we're a busy bunch. Since First Round's leader (Josh Kopelman) certainly wouldn't want us to waste a minute (let alone a full day!) – the content and speaker program were refreshingly relevant and useful.
All attendees were sworn to secrecy regarding what was said and by whom – however, the agenda itself is fair-play so I'm posting it here:
Download frc_ceo_summit_agenda.pdf
Startup CEOs face major headwinds. I think that all attendees left feeling buoyed by each other, and by the speaker program. Much thanks to Josh, Howard, Chris, Rob, Judy and Carly -- for putting on a great program!
Now, I better get back to work!

What is Azodyl?
Azodyl is a nutritional supplement for dogs and cats that may support kidney function. When your pet is suffering from Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), their kidneys no longer function as efficiently as they should. As a result of this progressive loss in renal function, harmful toxins like urea can build up in the blood, causing what is known as azotemia. Azotemia puts additional strain on the kidneys and can lead to further loss of kidney function.
Azodyl has a patented collection of natural bacteria (probiotics) that flush out uremic toxins in your pet's intestines. These probiotics may slow down toxin buildup and help prevent further kidney damage. Please note: Although Azodyl may remain unrefrigerated for a limited period of time, it is shipped expedited Monday through Thursday with insulated packaging and ice packs to minimize time spent unrefrigerated during shipping.
How it Works
Azodyl contains three strains of probiotics that eliminate uremic toxins that have diffused in your pet's intestines. Azodyl may prevent further kidney damage by providing natural enteric dialysis and slowing down toxin buildup in the blood.

What is Azodyl and how does it work?
Azodyl is a nutritional supplement for dogs and cats that contains three strains of probiotics that may reduce azotemia, which is a medical condition characterized by an increased concentration of urea and other compounds in the blood that further impair kidney function.
How should Azodyl be used?
The manufacturer's recommended dose of Azodyl in cats and dogs weighing up to 5 lbs is 1 capsule daily. For animals weighing 5-10 lbs give 2 capsules daily (1 in the AM and 1 in the PM). For animals weighing greater than 10 lbs give 3 capsules daily (2 in the AM and 1 in the PM). If necessary, administer capsule with a piece of the animal's favorite food or treat. We recommend trying Pill Pockets if you have a finicky pet that doesn't like to take pills.
What are the side effects?
According to the manufacturer's materials, there are no reported side effects.
What if a side effect occurs with my pet?
Stop administering Azodyl and contact your veterinarian.
How long does Azodyl take to work?
Depending on the overall health of your pet, the manufacturer says the reduction in BUN (blood urea nitrogen) and creatinine levels, two indicators that are used to measure renal health, may occur in as little as two weeks.
How long before or after food can Azodyl be taken?
Azodyl works best when it reaches your pet's bowel. You want the medication to avoid spending a lot of time in your pet's stomach and small intestine where there are acids that can be detrimental to the probiotics in Azodyl. By giving the medication not at feeding times, the better chance it has to quickly get to the colon.
Is Azodyl effective if the capsules are opened and given orally in water by syringe? Can I mix it with my pet's food?
No. The manufacturer states that Azodyl has to be given whole. Do not open, crush, or give your pets the contents of Azodyl capsules via oral syringe. Doing so compromises the delivery system of the live probiotics. If necessary, try administering Azodyl with a piece of your pet's favorite food or treats.
What happened to the 60 ct. bottles of Azodyl?
The 60 ct. bottles of Azodyl have been replaced by 90 ct. bottles that feature smaller capsules. Some pets, especially cats, had trouble swallowing the larger caspules. These new smaller capsules should alleviate that problem.
Does Azodyl need to be given on an empty stomach?
No. It does not need to be given on an empty stomach.
How long can Azodyl last without refrigeration?
The manufacturer has determined that Azodyl may remain unrefrigerated for a week or more, however we ship it in refrigerated packaging to insure viability. If you have concerns, please contact us at 1-800-710-9770.
How is Azodyl kept cold during shipping?
We ship Azodyl via UPS Overnight in insulated packaging with cold packs to make sure it stays properly refrigerated. However, The manufacturer has determined that Azodyl may remain unrefrigerated for a week or more. If you have concerns about the temperature of your product when you receive it, please contact us at 1-800-710-9770.
Does Azodyl have to be given to dogs with kidney disease?
Azodyl is a nutritional supplement designed to help pets suffering from Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) by reducing the strain put on the kidneys. Consult your veterinarian to see if Azodyl can be used to augment any of the other CKD treatments your pet may be receiving.
What if my pet skips a day or two?
While there should be no harm if you get your pet back on the dosing regimen as soon as you can, contact your veterinarian to be sure.
Can Azodyl be given with simultaneous administration of antibiotics?
Pets with chronic kidney disease commonly contract urinary tract infections (UTIs), primarily due to the altered quantity and pH of their urine. Veterinarians usually prescribe various antibiotics to treat these sorts of infections. The manufacturer recommendeds that you space out the administration of the antibiotics and Azodyl by 6 hours. By then, the antibiotics will be fully absorbed and the half-life will be reduced sufficiently that any return to the gut will be negligible.
Will Azodyl help my pet's kidney stones or urinary tract crystals?
While Azodyl is intended to support kidney function, it is not indicated for the treatment of kidney stones or urinary crystals. Please consult with your veterinarian before giving your pet Azodyl if they are already are taking urinary supplements.
Can my pet's dosage be reduced?
You should follow the manufacturer's recommended dosage for your pet's weight. The effectiveness of Azodyl may be reduced if you decrease the dosage. Please consult your veterinarian if you have specific questions about your pet's dosage.
Is there a liquid alternative to Azodyl?
Unfortunately, there are no similar products in liquid form.
What if one of my pets accidentally eats my other pet's Azodyl capsule?
Because Azodyl is a nutritional supplement and may take up to two weeks before it takes effect, eating one capsule should not harm a pet not suffering from chronic kidney disease. Just make sure to get your affected pet back on the dosing regimen as soon as possible. Contact your veterinarian if you notice any potential side effects.
Does Azodyl cause an animal to lose balance?
Azodyl is a nutritional supplement, so it is unlikely that it would cause those symptoms. However, always consult with your veterinarian if you have any questions about your animal's wellbeing.
Is Azodyl the same as Epakitin? What are their differences?
Azodyl and Epakitin are both kidney supplements, but they work in different ways. Azodyl may support renal function by reducing uremic toxins and easing the strain on your pet's kidneys. It also has the potential to reduce BUN and creatinine levels. Epakitin is a kidney supplement that may reduce serum phosphorous levels.
Can my pet use Azodyl with Epakitin?
Yes. According to the manufacturer, Azodyl may be used with any chronic kidney disease treatment your pet is currently receiving, however you should always consult your veterinarian before giving your pet a new supplement or medication. Epakitin is primarily used for reducing serum phosphorous, and about 10-15% of patients with azotemia also have elevated serum phosphorous levels. When used together, Azodyl and Epakitin may help reduce both azotemia and phosphatemia. Please consult your veterinarian before giving your pet any new supplements or medications.
Can you use Rubenal and Azodyl together?
Yes. According to the manufacturer, Azodyl can be used with Rubenal. Rubenal is made from medicinal rhubarb and may help protect healthy kidney tissue and minimize the negative consequences of fibrosis. Azodyl uses probiotics to remove toxins from the blood that place extra strain on your pet's kidneys. Both products may help pets with chronic kidney disease. However, consult your veterinarian before putting your pet on any supplement regimen.
Can I give my pet Azodyl and Aluminum Hydroxide?
Because different medications and supplements can interact differently with each other, you should speak to veterinarian about whether your pet should be taking Azodyl and Aluminum Hydroxide at the same time.
How long does Azodyl last in the refrigerator?
When stored in a refrigerator, Azodyl will last until the expiration date printed on the bottle.

Collection of large trash items (for example: furniture, mattresses, appliances, computers, etc.) can be arranged on an individual basis by calling any trash provider of your choice. The city's contracted provider for weekly trash and recycling pick-up is Waste Management (1-888-960-0008). Waste Management picks up large items on the 2nd and 4th Fridays of each month.

In a video post on Euromonitor International's website, "Air Cushions Taking the Color Cosmetics Market in Korea by Storm," Euromonitor research analyst Minji Kim discusses what may be the beauty industry's next big trend.
She begins, "Although it was first launched in 2008, Air Cushion has recently become the biggest trend in facial makeup in South Korea after the huge sensation created by BB creams. Thanks to Air Cushion, the sales value of color cosmetics grew by 11% in 2013. So what is special about Air Cushion? It is basically like a liquid foundation but the product is soaked in a sponge together with sun protection, makeup base and moisturizers. The idea of the Air Cushion comes from a stamp that can be patted and pressed on the users' face, so its packaging is more like a compact powder case instead of a tube or bottle.
"There are three major reasons why Air Cushion is so popular. First, it is multifunctional. Second, it provides coverage yet still feels light on the skin. That is important, as summer can be very hot and humid in South Korea. Finally, Air Cushion gives a natural makeup look, which is in line with the current trends in the country.
"When Iope launched the first Air Cushion in 2008, it didn't have much impact on the color cosmetics scene. It was because Iope had a limited distribution channel and brand awareness. Then, the brand expanded to the home shopping channel, which really helped the sales of the Air Cushion. As a result, Iope overtook Sulwahsoo as the number 1 brand in facial makeup in 2013. Based on this success, AmorePacific [which owns the Iope brand] launched Air Cushion products under its other brands such as Hera and Lirikos. So other domestic players such as LG Household and Health Care also jumped onto the Air Cushion bandwagon with their own brands. With the increase of [brands developing] Air Cushion products, this inspired consumers to see it as a must-have item, which further drove the popularity of the Air Cushion.
"Looking ahead, market players are expected to continue to expanding the Air Cushion products. In early 2014, AmorePacific launched a men's Air Cushion under its Iope brand to tap into the fast-growing men's market in South Korea. Air Cushion is also expanding to overseas markets, with the product being available in countries such as Singapore and Hong Kong. Product innovations and marketing campaigns to support these beauty trends are becoming more essential for market players to survive in the fast-changing beauty and personal care market. So manufacturers would do well to invest in developing innovative products rather than just simply relying on their brand image," Kim concludes.

Regional Migration in the Limelight
Not every migrant crosses a vast ocean or flies halfway around the world to reach safety or a land of opportunity. In fact, regional migration has been the major form of migration for centuries, and was noteworthy in North America, Europe, and Asia in 2006.
It is well known that the Mexican foreign born dominate immigration flows to the United States, forming 4.7 percent of the total civilian workforce in 2006, according to the Current Population Survey. But that is only part of the story: 50 percent of legal migration to the United States comes from the hemisphere, and 80 percent of illegal immigration comes from Mexico and Central America.
When the UK and Ireland decided to give labor-market access to citizens of all 10 EU accession states upon their entry in May 2004, neither country expected the unprecedented flows that followed. British researcher John Salt told the Economist this summer that, in absolute terms, the population movement since May 2004 is the biggest single wave of migration in British history.
Issue No. 9 of Top Ten of 2006 |
In Ireland, the estimated number of immigrants hit a record high this year (86,900 from April 2005 to April 2006), with 43 percent coming from EU Member States that joined in May 2004. Of the total, 26 percent were from Poland and 7 percent were from Lithuania.
The UK also saw the number of immigrants from Eastern European EU Member States climb over 50 percent, from 52,000 in 2004 to 80,000 in 2005 according to the National Statistics Office. More Polish citizens — 49,000 — came to the UK for at least a year in 2005 than citizens of any other foreign country.
Perhaps more startling was the Home Office's announcement in March that 345,410 people from the new EU states signed up for the special work registration scheme between May 2004 and December 2005.
Because of the large numbers, both the UK and Ireland have said that citizens of Romania and Bulgaria, which join the EU on January 1, 2007, will have to apply for work permits, a decision the UK will reevaluate after 12 months.
On the other side of the world, migration within Asia has increased dramatically, a trend the International Labor Organization reported this summer. Between 1995 and 2000, 40 percent of an estimated 2.9 million Asian migrant workers found jobs in other Asian countries. In contrast, in the 1970s and 1980s, more than 90 percent of the Asian migrant workforce left the region for jobs in the Gulf countries or in Europe.
New Zealand and Australia both made migration-related announcements during October's Pacific Islands Forum, which adopted an ambitious regional cooperation plan at last year's forum meeting.
New Zealand will allow up to 5,000 Pacific Island workers a year to take on temporary jobs in the country's agricultural sector, a program set to begin in April 2007 (see Ones to Watch: Openness to Migrants). After much debate, Australia decided against a similar plan, instead announcing that the Australia-Pacific Technical College, proposed at the 2005 forum, will be headquartered in Fiji. Last year, Prime Minister John Howard called the college a way to "promote more competitive workforces and enable greater labor mobility between the Pacific and developed economies such as Australia."

text: One of the beneficial results of the Great War has been the teaching of thrift to the American housewife. For patriotic reasons and for reasons of economy, more attention has been bestowed upon the preparing and cooking of food that is to be at once palatable, nourishing and economical. In the Italian cuisine we find in the highest degree these three qualities. That it is palatable, all those who have partaken of food in an Italian trattoria or at the home of an Italian family can testify, that it is healthy the splendid manhood and womanhood of Italy is a proof more than sufficient. And who could deny, knowing the thriftiness of the Italian race, that it is economical.
